Jack crossed the Pennines to re-fight the ‘War of the Roses’ over the weekend. With minus players making up 2/3rds of the field in this AC Open tournament, it was a step up from his more usual AC ‘B’ level exploits. Apparently this was not an issue for Jack as he won 5 out of 5, playing a previously unbeaten Paul Rigge (-1) in the ‘final’. Paul made his own demonstration to remind the Yorkshire players and supporters that the event had been won by a Lancastrian, and another Lancastrian (himself) was runner-up. Annoying Tykes is always worthwhile!
Robert Essler from Bowdon also played in the event and won 2 out of 4 games to join a group of 4 players tying for fifth place.
To the delight of anyone still playing Jack in handicap events at Bowdon, his handicap was chopped to 0.5, though some thought it could have been chopped more. Well done Jack.
